The Blue Ridge neighborhood is located entirely within Bloomington city limits, in Bloomington Township. Bloomington’s chief administrative officer is Mayor John Hamilton. The main legislative body of the City is a nine-person City Council. Our local council representative (District 2) is Dorothy Granger, who can be contacted at (812)349-3409, or at grangerd(a)bloomington.in.gov.
